Book Synopsis Burma (Classic Reprint) by : Herbert Thirkel White
Download or read book Burma (Classic Reprint) written by Herbert Thirkel White and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burma War conditions and consequent war service are responsible for the interruption of this series of Provincial Geographies. Subsequent reforms in the political constitution of India necessitated further delay; but, whether the Government of Burma remains under the Governor-General of India or becomes answerable direct to the King-Emperor, the Province must necessarily remain a geographical and political, as it is a distinct ethnographical, unit - a Burmese nation. For this, as for previous volumes of the same series, the author has been chosen because his long and intimate experience of the Province enables him to present in true perspective a thumb-nail sketch of the land and its people. In this respect there are two living authorities who stand in a class apart - Shwe Yoe (Sir George Scott), whose writings have brought to the West a humanitarian picture of the "Silken East," and the author of A Civil Servant in Burma, whose service of 33 years brought him into intimate touch with every phase of Burmese life and administration, from 1878, when the northern limit of British control was restricted to the Province of Pegu, through the third Burmese war of 1885, when King Thebaw's misrule of Upper Burma was abruptly terminated, and the subsequent years of pacification and economic development, till he retired as Lieutenant-Governor of the whole Province in 1910. The Cambridge University Press is fortunate in finding Sir Herbert Thirkell White with the leisure to review from afar the land which he served with affection and recognized distinction.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Burma IN this brief History of Burma I have tried to give a clear account of what is nown of the early period, together with some notice of the traditions which possess historical interest. From the point at which the records become trustworthy I have endeavoured to put clearly and concisely all that the young student should know, without burdening his mind with unnecessary details. I hope that a work dealing with a country which has received so.much attention in recent years from the traveller, artist, and litte'rateur, may not be without general interest.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of Burma Such, in a word, is the story of Burma. To the Englishman it may be a drama; to the Burman it will ever be a pwe. It is a play of strong passions, of absorbing human interest. But its indescribable charm is derived from the shifting effects of Nature's scenery no less than from the play and interplay of human action. Before, therefore, we embark upon the story, let us, briefly and hurriedly, survey the scene of it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Burmese Wonderland by : C. M. Enriquez
Download or read book Burmese Wonderland written by C. M. Enriquez and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-13 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Burmese Wonderland: A Tale of Travel in Lower and Upper Burma Yesterday, while I was planning the arrangement of these pages, the relics in the Arakan Pagoda were seen to fly up towards the spire, and hang there, glittering about the crown. The omen is surely propitious. This morning a Burmese friend of mine, while bathing in the Irrawaddy, was seized round the waist by a Ye Bilu, or Water God, which would have dragged him away, had not the neighbours rushed in and driven off the River Nat. Maung Gyi himself has since confirmed the story. "My Lord has correctly heard the facts, except that the Ye Bilu also went off with my lungyi leaving me 'a modest man' to reach home in extreme confusion." There are two Burmas. There is one with Diarchy which is dull enough, but affords sport to quite a number of people. The other is half esoteric. It is just a Wonderland. Like Alice, you can follow a White Rabbit down into it with the pleasurable assurance of exciting adventures. Not long ago a little bird suddenly began to bet; and a giant mushroom, far larger than Alice's, caused a thrill of excitement.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Civil Servant in Burma This is not a guide-book, or a history, or a study of manners and customs. It is a plain story of official life for more than thirty years. It does not compete with any of the books already written about Burma, except, perhaps, the monumental work of General F ytche. While pursuing as a rule a track of chronological order, I have not hesitated to wander into by-paths of dissertation and description. I could not write without attempting to give frag mentary impressions of the people and their character. As far as possible I have limited my narrative to events within my own knowledge my judgments are based on my own observation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Leopard's Leap: A Story of Burma The good ship Devonshire of the County Line was making her way with sober haste through the tepid waters of the Red Sea. It was ten o'clock of an October night and the heat was tempered by a southerly breeze. The after-dinner promenaders had ceased their uneasy effort to get exercise without colliding with each other or with the chairs that strewed the deck, and had settled down to cards, conversation or the knitting of mufflers for the Indian troops in France. A few passengers here and there leaned over the side to watch the phosphorescent waters rolling like liquid silver from the ship's dark bows, or to admire the graceful proportions of the Unicorn, which they fondly believed, on the assurance of a waggish officer, to be the Southern Cross.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Loyal Karens of Burma Probably few of those who have read the newspaper telegrams and narratives of the rebellion in Lower Burma, are aware that a neglected little nation called Karens, inhabiting the mountains and forests of the province, have been the staunchest and bravest defenders of British rule. but for the loyalty and courage of the Karens, the rebel Burmese and Shans would, in all probability, have overrun Lower Burma. Had the Karens joined in the insurrection, the Queen's Government would, in all probability - for a time, at least - have ceased to exist; communications with Mandalay would have been cut off, and the invading force would have been hemmed in by an armed people fired to fierce resistance by our reverse in the south.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Afoot and Afloat in Burma Just across the Bay of Bengal in India, its next-door neighbor, is Burma. It is very different from India, not only as to the general appearance of the country itself, but also as regards the people, their manner of living, and the language spoken. That this should be so is really not hard to under stand. Though joined by land to India in the north, Burma is separated from that country by mountain ranges which are difficult to cross. This has left the country shut in and isolated from earliest times. The pages of Indian history are scarred by the records of, Alexander the Great and other invaders, and the country and people have been influenced greatly by these various conquerors, yet Burma has been sheltered.
